My question - what foods would you recoomend in storage for sickness (eg H1N1 or other unexpected virus)? I have canned soup, jello, bananas in freezer, rice as well as usual food storage items. If all the family were really sick &amp; no outside help available with meals, what would be nourishing and really quick &amp; easy to prepare ?
